5 quick PowerPoint New Year's presentation design tips for 2025
How can you improve your slides? Here are five quick tips to make a good New Year presentation great:
1. Include live polling
Turn your audience from passive listeners to active participants of your presentation with live polling. Include a QR code on your slide that takes them to a live poll.
Ask a fun question that's related to your presentation. Give them enough time to complete the poll and share the answers.

Having a live poll after your presentation is an excellent way to get feedback.

A New Year's presentation is an excellent visual storytelling opportunity. Take your audience on a journey. Show how the past year went and what's in store for the new year. This could be done in the form of:
- infographics
